Forensic Team Wins Male Chorus Tours Six States
Honors at Concordia
Peterson and Clover, Negative
Team, Gain First Victory
Bethel's negative debating team,
Donald Peterson and Donald Clover,
brought back the colors of victory
from the encounter with Concordia
team on Saturday, April 1. The sub-ject
debated was—"Resolved that the
United States should agree to the can-cellation
of all inter-allied war debts."
The judges were Coach Osterhus of
Roosevelt High School, Minneapolis;
Coach Watson of Central High School,
St. Paul; and the Rev. Mr. G. C. Han-son
of St. Paul.
B. AND M. T. EDITOR
DISCONTINUES STUDIES
Laura Moss, Bible and Missionary
Training editor of the Clarion, has
discontinued her studies at Bethel for
this year. She returned to her home
in Sioux Falls, S. Dak., in time to wel-come
the Bethel Glee Club to her home
church. Laura plans to resume her
work next fall in the Missionary
Training department.
Laura's departure was a distinct
loss to the Clarion staff. Having had
journalistic experience in High School,
she was a valuable asset to the edi-torial
department.
District Library
Committee Formed
DEAN COFFEY AND
PROF. CHRISTIANSEN
MEMBERS OF GROUP
Will Stimulate Interest in St. Anthony
Park Branch Library
A St. Anthony Park Library Com-mittee,
consisting of two representa-tives
from each of the educational
institutions, Parents-Teachers' Asso-ciations
and philanthropic organiza-tions
of the Park, has been organized
recently. Dean Danielson and Prof.
Finstrom represent Bethel Institute
in this committee. The purpose of the
organization is to stimulate interest
in the library (as a part of the city
library system) and to aid in the sup-port
both as regards the addition of
books, the increase of its use, and the
development of new services which the
institution might render the com-munity.
At the last meeting of the commit-tee,
April 3rd, among those who con-tributed
to the discussion were Dr.
Nelson of the City Library Board,
Dean Coffey, and Professor Christian-sen
of the Agricultural College. The
Dean's presentation was highly com-plimentary
to his appreciation of the
higher values in our educational and
community life. Professor Christian-sen
is the Chairman of the Committee.
It is evident that in him the commun-ity
has not only an enthusiastic and
efficient leader but one who has the
best interests of our young people at
heart.
Prof. Christiansen announced the
appointment of several sub-commit-tees
which are to go to work imme-diately.
Our representatives have a
place on these committees and thus
it will be possible for Bethel to con-tribute
its share, we hope, to the con-tinuation
of the services which this
library has rendered in the past and
to additional effort if possible.

DR. RAY YORK WINS LOVE
OF STUDENTS DURING
VISIT HERE.
Well Known Speaker Gives
Series of Chapel Addresses
The Rev. Ray E. York, evangelist
and educator, gave a series of heart-searching
messages in chapel the
week before the Easter recess. His
text, 2 Corinthians 5:19, has taken on
a new meaning to many as the speak-er
developed it, taking a part of it
each morning. In the first clause
"God was in Christ" Dr. York pic-tured
God's being in the helpless babe
of Bethlehem. This is unfathomable
to the finite human mind, but never-theless
true. The next phrase "re-conciling
the world unto Himself" was
used to portray the great love which
God has for this sinful world. The
principle of ethics in reconciliation is
that the one who has done the injury
should make restitution, but in the
Divine principle of ethics this order is
reversed. The offended one takes the
first step. The Lord Jesus Christ
holds out His hand and says, "Let us
be reconciled."
When the invitation was extended
on Saturday morning to those who
wished to accept Jesus Christ as their
personal Saviour, several students re-sponded.
Dr. York's ministry at Bethel has
been a great blessing to Faculty and
students.
Dikkers Takes Third Place In
Twin City Oratorical Contest
The school's representatives at the
Twin City oratorical contest "did
themselves proudly." In what were
conceded to be the most finished
orations of the Forensic League, John
Dikkers and Lester Thompson were
altogether worthy representatives of
Bethel. Their subjects were "Shall
Technocracy Rule ?" and "Christian
Education" respectively.
Figuring on the basis of rank,
John Dikkers tied for first place.
When, to bteak the tie, percentage
was resorted to, Minnehaha was
ahead, with John in third place.
Return Saturday Morning
After Enjoyable Trip
The Glee Club returned early last
Saturday morning after having com-pleted
a successful ten day concert
tour through the states of Minnesota,
Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kan-sas,
and Missouri.
The boys all report a very enjoy-able
as well as a profitable time. The
contacts made with the various
churches of our denomination were
very encouraging and everywhere
they went a keen interest was shown
in the work which our denomination
is doing through Bethel.
Although the weather here in Min-nesota
last week was rather gloomy
and chilly, yet all along the course of
travel the weather was very pleasant.
Not a bit of stormy or disagreeable
weather was reported. It was in-teresting
to note that the further
south they went, the more advanced
the different sections of the country
were in climate. In Kansas and
Missouri especially the leaves on the
trees and bushes have come out, and
the spring flowers are in full bloom.
Kansas City was the most interesting
stopping place on the trip. Rev. A.
J. Dahlby, pastor of the church there,
proved a very worthy host. The con-cert
was held in the Kansas City
church on Sunday evening April 9.
On Monday morning the boys were
taken to the war memorial in Kansas
City. Although the memorial is not
yet completed it was a place of great
interest. Relics are on display in this
place from every war in which our
country has taken part, from Revolu-tionary
days down to the present time.
One of the interesting parts of the
trip was traveling in the bus. The
Jefferson Transportation Company
had provided one of their best buses
for the tour, and one of the very best
drivers as well. Every one who took
the tour has learned to love and
esteem him, for through his winsome
personality the tour became all the
more successful. No motor trouble
of any kind was had except a flat tire
last Friday night driving in from
Worthington.
At nearly every place visited the
Glee Club came in contact with
former Bethelites. Five of the pas-tors
of the churches visited have been
students in our Seminary.
The Club also had the privilege of
singing to unseen audiences. On
Wednesday April 12th they sang over
the radio station in Sioux City, Iowa.
kOonF. riday, April 14th they sang over
the station in Sioux Falls, South Da-ta
The mileage covered on the tour
was nineteen hundred and sixty miles,
and the average mileage per day, one
hundred ninety-six miles. The most
strenuous day of the tour was the
drive made from Sioux Falls, South
Dakota to Stromsburg, Nebraska on
the 7th of April, when because of
poor roads a detour was made through
Omaha. The bus travelled about
three hundred fifty miles that day,
being on the road for eleven hours.
Students Conduct Meetings
at Wheelock Parkway Chapel
The evangelistic meetings which the
Bethel students are conducting at the
Wheelock Parkway Chapel, opened
last night.
At these meetings, which will be of
two weeks' duration, the students and
faculty of Bethel will have an oppor-tunity
of not only expressing their
talents, but also of putting into prac-tice
the truths learned about God and
His plan of salvation.

Editorial
Most of us have been thinking seriously the
past few weeks. Dr. York, during his visit here,
brought to us a vivid realization of the reality of
God, and of His infinite love, "in Christ reconciling
the world unto Himself, not reckoning unto men
their trespasses."
Those of us who name His name have felt the
urge to search ourselves, to give ourselves in
deeper consecration, knowing that—
"Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my life, my soul, my all."
Others have been led to seek for that light,
that faith which makes us children of God, and
have openly made known their desire to us.
We admire their courage, and we commend
their vision, their sense of values. They have
chosen "the better part"—they have made the
most important choice of life.
And we hope that this seeking shall continue.
May we all help and encourage one another, taking
care lest in any way we hinder, or cause anyone
to stumble.
V V V V
Prayer
"More things are wrought by prayer than this
world dreams of."
When we look about us we cannot help but see
the power of prayer. Bethel has gone through a
year of trial ; it seemed as though its doors would
have to be closed, but by prevailing prayer it has
passed through a successful year spiritually and
financially.
Prayer is not only an opportunity for us to
"ask abundantly", but it is also a blessed privilege
of communing with the Lord of Lords, and to en-ter
into the Holy of Holies to the very presence
of the Almighty. It is an audience with the King.
Who's Who
E. A. Finstrom
Mr. E. A. Finstrom came to Bethel
in the fall of 1920. He has taught in
both the Seminary and Academy and
is at the present time instructor in the
Junior College and the Seminary. He
is also librarian at the Seminary.
Mr. Finstrom was born in Cadillac,
Michigan, receiving his early training
in the rural schools of that state. He
is a graduate of the University of
Chicago Divinity School (Swedish De-partment)
; of the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary with the degree
Th. M.; and the University of Chicago
with a Ph. B. After his graduation
from the University of Chicago, Mr.
Finstrom served four years as pastor
at Kingsley, Michigan, until he was
called by the school board of Bethel
Institute.
Mr. Finstrom has impressed us all
with his ability to do a great deal of
work efficiently and promptly. He
has nearly every summer pursued ad-ditional
studies at the University of
Minnesota. Since the organization of
the Lake Park church, Mr. Finstrom
has served as its pastor. This church,
being in the same community as
Bethel Institute, has given many of
the students an opportunity to serve
their Lord and Master in the Sunday
School and other services of the
church.
A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER
Never resent the behaviour of an
ill-bred person.
Remember, no one can insult you—
he is simply showing his own bad
manners.
There is a courtesy of the heart—
from it springs the purest courtesy in
the outer behaviour.
Good manners are neither more nor
less than good behaviour, consisting
cf courtesy and kindness.
The small courtesies sweeten life,
the greater ennoble it.
Lincoln, when speaking of driving,
said, "If a man will not turn out for
me, I turn out for him." He certain-ly
had a lovely spirit, didn't he ?
Politeness is to Do and Say the
Kindest Thing in the Kindest Way.
Washington, the Gentleman
It is said that George Washington
once made a contemptible remark
about Colonel Payne, who at once
arose in anger and knocked Washing-ton
to the floor. In Colonial days
such an act was considered a challenge
to a duel. Washington met Colonel
Payne not long afterward, and going
to him, held out his hand, saying, "My
friend, I used language that was un-becoming
a gentleman, and you
promptly knocked me down. If you
have had satisfaction enough, let us be
friends." Is it strange that Washing-ton
has always been known as a
courtly gentleman ? Courtesy ever
brings its own reward, and Colonel
Payne and General Washington were
friends indeed.
The Book Corner
By H. C. Wingblade
A rather small book about a rather great man
came out recently in REUBEN ARCHER TORREY
—THE MAN AND HIS MESSAGE by Robert
Harkness, his musical associate (Bible School Press,
Chicago). The author says in his preface that the
book is not an attempt at a complete record but at
a means of inspiration, to all who read it, to more
holy living and more fruitftil service.
Mr. Harkness discovers his friend to the reader
as a man called of God to a great task,—as a man
of staunch faith, of deep prayer life, and of dominat-ing
convictions. He shows him forth as a rare Bible
teacher, and as a personal worker led at times seem-ingly
most miraculously of God.
As a preacher in the pulpit, he was a master of
every situation, because he was firmly planted on
the Word of truth. His messages and his meetings
were to be dominated by the Holy Spirit, with an
utter thrusting aside of man-made arguments or
man-made tricks. "Don't argue with a sinner", was
his warning; "if the Spirit of God is not working,
you have no chance."
His messages were characterized by simplicity
and power. As those keen, bright eyes shone, that
voice rang out unhesitatingly and unmistakably to
the utmost listener.
Pick the book up and glance through it. You
may decide to read it. The book is on the reserve
shelf.
Much Ado .. .
What's It For . . .?
Did you ever leave the house on a nice afternoon to
go for a joy ride some place out in the country ? What
did you find to greet as you tried to view the scenes on
the side of the road ? Nothing less than a lot of signs
blocking the view. The mean thing about them is that
there is no particular good in their being there,—they
could just as well be "gotten along without".
Or, to get a little closer home—did you ever start
walking down the hall and find your view blocked, passage
denied, and yourself disgusted ? Why ? Just because a
bunch of people are planted there not doing any particular
good. And they could just as well be "gotten along with-out".
We have a comfortable reception room furnished for
us in the Academy-College building. How would it be
to go in there and enjoy making a date the way a man
should instead of standing in the hall with one arm around
the big "knob" at the bottom of the stairs. Then too,
probably a person would feel more like drinking from the
fountain if there wouldn't be so many people sitting on it
while they talk about something worthless.
—Utilitarian.
Another Suggestion
The St. Paul Pioneer Press has a special page for
High School news every Saturday. I am sure they would
be glad to publish any news the Academy students' send
in. This is a good opportunity to advertise our school,
and it would perhaps eliminate that embarrassing situa-tion
one finds oneself in when having to explain that
Bethel Academy is across from the Fair Grounds and not
in Southern California. With six representatives on the
Clarion staff, you should be able to send some news in
once a week.
—College Student.
Think On These Things
By Esther Sabel
"Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it
not. --Gen. 28:16.
Homeless. alone, in a strange country, fleeing from
the wrath of a brother whom he had wronged, weary and
sick at heart, Jacob had been privileged a vision of God.
He did not deserve it; he had sinned—against his brother,
against his aged father,—against God. No, Jacob did not
deserve it. but God's mercy is greater than our deserts.
and His love follows us into the most unlikely places.
The story is told of a deep-sea diver who wanted
to have nothing to do with God. He avoided every men-tion
of religion, he never went near a church, the Bible
was a forbidden book as far as he was concerned. But one
day when he was diving he came upon a mollusk with a
bit of paper clamped in its shell. Curious, he managed to
pull the slip of paper out. It contained just one word—
"God"! The diver was so impressed with the conscious-ness
that it was impossible for him to get away from the
spirit of God, that he surrendered there on the floor of
the sea to the Love that had followed him even into this
most unexpected situation.
You may avoid mention of God, you may stay away
from every place where people meet to worship Him, you
may ignore His Word, but you cannot get away from
His presence. For his grace is greater than your sin, and
His mercy seeks to draw you to Him, that He may bless
you.

SPORT S
Seniors Reveal Life Secrets
In Impromptu Autobiographies
Class Adviser Demonstrates
Pugilistic Ability at Party
The dumbest and the brightest of
the dignified Academy Seniors, includ-ing
even the Valedictorian of the class,
were revealed by "spinning the milk
bottle" at the home of their class ad-visor,
Prof. H. C. Wingblade, on Fri-day
evening, April 7.
The group then tried its skill in re-membering,
not for a test, but for a
game. After this the guests tried
their hand at modeling, with either a
dog or Prof. Wingblade as the subject.
An exhibition by Prof. Wingblade of
his pugilistic ability was the main
feature of the evening, "bringing
down the house."
Another very interesting stunt was
the writing of life histories by each of
the Seniors—"A story in pictures".
After a delightful lunch the group
gathered around the piano and sang
"old songs." To the tune of "Home
Sweet Home" they disbanded, conclud-ing
that "there was nary a party like
it. "
INQUISITIVE REPORTER
Question:
What do you consider an ideal
student ?
Academy Student:
"An ideal student is one who tries
to do the best work he is' capable of,
and who is also active in extra-cur-ricular
activities."
College:
"I think an ideal student can best
be exemplified by an earnest Chris-tian
student."
B. and M. T.
"An ideal student is one who has
character, personality, and intelli-gence,
and who uses these traits to the
best advantage, not for himself, but
for others."
Seminary:
"An ideal student is a conscientious
fellow who can see two sides of a
question and still keep his own opin-ion.
He must study enough to keep a
good scholastic average. He must
also be ready to help out when need-ed."
Faculty:
"An ideal student is one who strives
daily to improve himself physically,
mentally, and spiritually—not selfish-ly,
but so that he might better help
others, fellow students and teachers,
to attain unto the high goal of living."

Gleams from the Geometry Classes
After receiving a blank response to
a question asked of Carl Holmberg,
the instructor said, "I wanted to give
you a chance; you had an intelligent
look on your face, so I was sure you
knew."
Carl Holmberg (assuming a dig-nified
manner) : "Oh, that's natural."
Miss Paleen: (berating the class
over their slowness and general in-aptitude
at grasping "simple" proofs):
"Last year's pupils were brilliant
when it came to this theorem. In
fact, they were far ahead of you in
assignments at this time of the year."
Sveinung H.: "Well, you see, last
year was Leap year with an extra clay
for them. We can't help but be be-hind."
Reciprocity

consciousness, she thanked
him, and he fainted.

Judging by the way the baseball
t eam has been breaking bats, we're
going to have a lot of home runs this
year.
-o-
Cliff Dickau must have a grudge
against the coach. One day last week
the coach fell over Dickau and hurt
his leg and later in the day Dickau
hit the coach in the back with a wild
peg. Dickau had better watch out or
the coach will suspect something.

Lloyd Wickstrom was barely able
to stand up one day at baseball prac-tice,
and when the coach asked the
reason why he was so tired he replied
that he had milked five cows the day
before.
-o-
During the first week of practice
which was held in the gym, Al Carlson
caught a ball on the end of his finger
which looked for a while as if it was
badly hurt, but it is not broken and
will come around in good order.
-o-
When Bethel opens the baseball sea-son
we hope there will he a better
turn-out to support the team than
there was at basketball.
Baseballers Start Season
Good Material Brought to Light
With the first call for baseball prac-tice
sixteen men turned out for try-outs.
The opening practice revealed
a fairly strong team although it will
take a lot of developing to put it into
first place in the league. The pitch-ing
staff showed up well with Holm-berg,
a southpaw, and Bauers. Al-though
they haven't thrown all their
stuff yet they appear likely to develop
into a pair of good hurlers. The in-field
prospects are good, with seven
men to choose from. Paulson and
Koch, two aspirants for infield posi-tion,
showed exceptional form in prac-tice
and are almost certain to obtain
a berth. The outfield this season will
most likely include Ed Cambronne
who has been playing his position well
in the last two weeks of practice. Al-though
he is somewhat weak in bat-ting.,
he will probably overcome this
before the first game.
Practice so far has been hampered
by the absence of some of the players
who were away on the Male Chorus
Tour. Because of this the coach has
been unable to tell what material he
has for the different positions.

DEAN DANIELSON REPORTS
SUCCESSFUL TRIP IN EAST
CHURCHES RAISE FULL QUOTA
"The churches in the East have re-sponded
very generously in meeting
their share of the quota for the main-tenance
of Bethel", Dean Danielson
said in effect upon his return from his
trip in the East. "The school must
raise $10,000 over and above the sum
which the church budgets provide, and
$2000 of this amount was raised in
the Eastern states during a period of
six weeks, and this in spite of the
bank holiday and other discourage-ments.
There is whole-hearted sup-port
in this part of the country in
favor of Bethel. It is expected that a
number of students will come from the
East next year to take up work in
the Junior College."
Mr. Danielson plans a one-month's
trip to the West Coast, when he ex-pects
to visit Spokane, Seattle, Bel-lingham,
Tacoma, Portland, and Ore-gon,
as well as other places near the
Pacific before his return about the
middle of May.
AMONG THE GRADS
April 15, 1933
Dear Alumnus:
What a surprise — and such a
pleasant one—to find your letter to
me on the back page of the Bethel
Clarion. I thoroughly enjoyed it and
appreciate very much your sending
me a copy of your interesting paper.
It was great to get all the news.
You are right. Margaret and Carol
do manage to keep me more than busy.
We all miss the cheery presence of
Mother Nichols. It is hard to truly
realize that she is gone; her death
came so suddenly. But we are happy
to have the lovely memories of her.
It was nice to see Edith's cheery
face in the Bethel Clarion. She is
a grand girl.
Here's some news. On March 6th
the Bethel Alumni of the Arrowhead
Country met at the home of Florence
Wallberg. The group organized the
Head of the Lakes Bethel Alumni As-sociation.
The membership includes
all graduates of Bethel Institute—any
department—who live in this area;
also wives or husbands of the Alumni.
It will be largely social but we expect
to accomplish some good for Bethel
by keeping in touch with each other
and we hope to have a live organiza-tion
that will spread the true influence
of Bethel wherever we may go.
Florence Wallberg was made Presi-dent;
Bill BaCklund, Vice President;
Eleanore Nichols, Secretary-Treas-urer.
Our next meeting will be in
July and we expect to make it a pic-nic.
The place will be definitely de-cided
on later but we plan to meet
somewhere on the Range. Watch
Standaret for further news later in
the summer.
Please send me more of the Bethel
Clarion, and send me a bill.
Sincerely,
Eleanore Nichols.
Well, Eleanore—That was a breezy
note from you and it came just in time
for the "Clarion." Here is some more
news for you.
Rev. and Mrs. Bengt Anderson and
children have just returned from As-sam,
India. They made a hurried
visit to Bethel last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Ivar Anderson are the
happy parents of a little girl born
April 14. Another arrival is Eugene
Donald Sullivan at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Sullivan. Mrs. Sullivan was
formerly Esther Brandt.
Emily Satterberg who recently re-turned
from her field in Africa ex-pects
to go to France the latter part
of April or May and from there she
returns to Sona Bata. She is one of
the few missionaries to be sent back
to her field this year.
An Ericson gains distinction! Mar-tin
Ericson graduated from the Med-ical
College of the University of Min-nesota
March 23. He is taking up his
interneship at the St. Mary Hospital,
Minneapolis.
Paul Stone has received a call to
the church at Preston, Washington.
He has been director of Religious Edu-cation
in the Swedish Baptist Church
at Oakland, California.
Among recent visitors to the March
Twin City Ministers' meeting were
Rev. and Mrs. Lloyd Dahlquist and
baby Merilyn and Rev. and Mrs. Carl
Seaquist.
You will be glad to hear that there
is a growing interest in Bethel as
evidenced by the fine letters received
from alumni pledging their support
by prayer and financial aid. Bethel
needs it right now more than ever be-fore.
Many of these donations are
real gifts of sacrifice from mission-aries
and others whose funds are
limited.
Reuben Nelson now living in Brock-ton,
Massachusetts, is completing
work for his Master of Arts degree
at Newton Center Theological Semi-nary.
Nels Ferre has made an unusual
record scholastically in post-graduate
work in connection with Boston Uni-versity
and Newton Center Theological
Seminary. He stood highest in both
schools.
Rev. and Mrs. Walfred G. Holmberg,
classes of '19 and '18 respectively, will
complete nine years of labor with the
church at Concordia, Kansas, in May.
During these years he has received
about 200 members into the church
and a beautiful modern church build-ing
has been erected at a cost of about
S50,000.
Linda Erickson, who is also in
Africa, tells of an interesting visit
with the Prince and Princess of Bel-gium.
As the Princess is Swedish,
Linda had the honor of talking with
her in her native tongue. Esther
Ehnbom, who is just starting her
second term of service in Africa has
had some very unique experiences as
nurse. Another country heard from
is Gauhati, Assam, where the Rev.
and Mrs. Reuben Holm are launching
out with dauntless courage into the
great work assigned to them.
It would be a treat to see you with
us again. Be sure to bring the young-sters
along.
When you arrive in the city be sure
to call Bethel Headquarters. The
sweet voice saying, "Bethel Institute"
across the wire is none other than
that of Jessie Skooglun. She is
the latest addition to the Bethel of-fice
force, and has become an invalu-able
member.

Campus Notes
Walter Watkin assisted Walter An-derson
in a week of special services
at Maynard, Minn., the week previous
to vacation. Last week he conducted
pre-Easter services in his own church
at Grove City.
Lester Thompson at Pillager and
Kenneth Meade at the Oakdale
Chapel, West St. Paul held Lenten
services in their churches last week.
It has been rumored that our regu-lar
campus day may be of a . different
nature this year and that perhaps the
student body and faculty will spend
the day outside on the campus. Don't
tell anybody but maybe there'll be a
picnic dinner too.
During the absence of the Associate
Editor, Gertrude Liljegren, who spent
last week at her home in Lake Ne-bagamon,
Wis., Henning Landstrom
assisted in the editing of this issue of
the Clarion.
The Journalism class together with
their instructor, Miss Sabel, recently
paid a visit to the Minneapolis
Journal. A guide took them through
the plant, pointing out the mechanism
of the press and linotype machines.
The visit proved to be of practical
value to all who took advantage of the
opportunity.
Grace Anderson, of the Academy
Sophomore Class, has been forced to
discontinue her studies because of ill
health. "We certainly miss her! She
was an active member of our class
and of the Student Council. We sin-cerely
hope she will be able to return
next fall", say her classmates.
We have heard that Olav Norsted,
was quite learned in the ups and
downs of life when he was quite a
little fellow. It is reported that an
affectionate spinster aunt visited his
home. She was fond of little Olav and
wanted him to kiss her. Olav refused
but his mother insisted, "Come now,
Olav, and kiss your aunt Martha."
Replied young Olav, "Aw, Ma, I ain't
done nothing."
Can you feature Robert Marvin say-ing,
"I've half a mind to get mar-ried
?" and Lloyd Wickstrom answer-ing,
"That's all you do need ?"

DISCONTINUES STUDIES
Laura Moss, Bible and Missionary

discontinued her studies at Bethel for
this year. She returned to her home
in Sioux Falls, S. Dak., in time to wel-come
the Bethel Glee Club to her home
church. Laura plans to resume her
work next fall in the Missionary

Laura's departure was a distinct
loss to the Clarion staff. Having had
journalistic experience in High School,
she was a valuable asset to the edi-torial

District Library
Committee Formed
DEAN COFFEY AND
PROF. CHRISTIANSEN
MEMBERS OF GROUP
Will Stimulate Interest in St. Anthony
Park Branch Library
A St. Anthony Park Library Com-mittee,
consisting of two representa-tives
from each of the educational
institutions, Parents-Teachers' Asso-ciations
and philanthropic organiza-tions
of the Park, has been organized
recently. Dean Danielson and Prof.
Finstrom represent Bethel Institute
in this committee. The purpose of the
organization is to stimulate interest
in the library (as a part of the city
library system) and to aid in the sup-port
both as regards the addition of
books, the increase of its use, and the
development of new services which the
institution might render the com-munity.
At the last meeting of the commit-tee,
April 3rd, among those who con-tributed
to the discussion were Dr.
Nelson of the City Library Board,
Dean Coffey, and Professor Christian-sen
of the Agricultural College. The
Dean's presentation was highly com-plimentary
to his appreciation of the
higher values in our educational and
community life. Professor Christian-sen
is the Chairman of the Committee.
It is evident that in him the commun-ity
has not only an enthusiastic and
efficient leader but one who has the
best interests of our young people at
heart.
Prof. Christiansen announced the
appointment of several sub-commit-tees
which are to go to work imme-diately.
Our representatives have a
place on these committees and thus
it will be possible for Bethel to con-tribute
its share, we hope, to the con-tinuation
of the services which this
library has rendered in the past and
to additional effort if possible.

DR. RAY YORK WINS LOVE
OF STUDENTS DURING
VISIT HERE.
Well Known Speaker Gives
Series of Chapel Addresses
The Rev. Ray E. York, evangelist
and educator, gave a series of heart-searching
messages in chapel the
week before the Easter recess. His
text, 2 Corinthians 5:19, has taken on
a new meaning to many as the speak-er
developed it, taking a part of it
each morning. In the first clause
"God was in Christ" Dr. York pic-tured
God's being in the helpless babe
of Bethlehem. This is unfathomable
to the finite human mind, but never-theless
true. The next phrase "re-conciling
the world unto Himself" was
used to portray the great love which
God has for this sinful world. The
principle of ethics in reconciliation is
that the one who has done the injury
should make restitution, but in the
Divine principle of ethics this order is
reversed. The offended one takes the
first step. The Lord Jesus Christ
holds out His hand and says, "Let us
be reconciled."
When the invitation was extended
on Saturday morning to those who
wished to accept Jesus Christ as their
personal Saviour, several students re-sponded.
Dr. York's ministry at Bethel has
been a great blessing to Faculty and
students.
Dikkers Takes Third Place In
Twin City Oratorical Contest
The school's representatives at the
Twin City oratorical contest "did
themselves proudly." In what were
conceded to be the most finished
orations of the Forensic League, John
Dikkers and Lester Thompson were
altogether worthy representatives of
Bethel. Their subjects were "Shall
Technocracy Rule ?" and "Christian
Education" respectively.
Figuring on the basis of rank,
John Dikkers tied for first place.
When, to bteak the tie, percentage
was resorted to, Minnehaha was
ahead, with John in third place.
Return Saturday Morning
After Enjoyable Trip
The Glee Club returned early last
Saturday morning after having com-pleted
a successful ten day concert
tour through the states of Minnesota,
Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kan-sas,
and Missouri.
The boys all report a very enjoy-able
as well as a profitable time. The
contacts made with the various
churches of our denomination were
very encouraging and everywhere
they went a keen interest was shown
in the work which our denomination
is doing through Bethel.
Although the weather here in Min-nesota
last week was rather gloomy
and chilly, yet all along the course of
travel the weather was very pleasant.
Not a bit of stormy or disagreeable
weather was reported. It was in-teresting
to note that the further
south they went, the more advanced
the different sections of the country
were in climate. In Kansas and
Missouri especially the leaves on the
trees and bushes have come out, and
the spring flowers are in full bloom.
Kansas City was the most interesting
stopping place on the trip. Rev. A.
J. Dahlby, pastor of the church there,
proved a very worthy host. The con-cert
was held in the Kansas City
church on Sunday evening April 9.
On Monday morning the boys were
taken to the war memorial in Kansas
City. Although the memorial is not
yet completed it was a place of great
interest. Relics are on display in this
place from every war in which our
country has taken part, from Revolu-tionary
days down to the present time.
One of the interesting parts of the
trip was traveling in the bus. The
Jefferson Transportation Company
had provided one of their best buses
for the tour, and one of the very best
drivers as well. Every one who took
the tour has learned to love and
esteem him, for through his winsome
personality the tour became all the
more successful. No motor trouble
of any kind was had except a flat tire
last Friday night driving in from
Worthington.
At nearly every place visited the
Glee Club came in contact with
former Bethelites. Five of the pas-tors
of the churches visited have been
students in our Seminary.
The Club also had the privilege of
singing to unseen audiences. On
Wednesday April 12th they sang over
the radio station in Sioux City, Iowa.
kOonF. riday, April 14th they sang over
the station in Sioux Falls, South Da-ta
The mileage covered on the tour
was nineteen hundred and sixty miles,
and the average mileage per day, one
hundred ninety-six miles. The most
strenuous day of the tour was the
drive made from Sioux Falls, South
Dakota to Stromsburg, Nebraska on
the 7th of April, when because of
poor roads a detour was made through
Omaha. The bus travelled about
three hundred fifty miles that day,
being on the road for eleven hours.
Students Conduct Meetings
at Wheelock Parkway Chapel
The evangelistic meetings which the
Bethel students are conducting at the
Wheelock Parkway Chapel, opened
last night.
At these meetings, which will be of
two weeks' duration, the students and
faculty of Bethel will have an oppor-tunity
of not only expressing their
talents, but also of putting into prac-tice
the truths learned about God and
His plan of salvation.

Editorial
Most of us have been thinking seriously the
past few weeks. Dr. York, during his visit here,
brought to us a vivid realization of the reality of
God, and of His infinite love, "in Christ reconciling
the world unto Himself, not reckoning unto men
their trespasses."
Those of us who name His name have felt the
urge to search ourselves, to give ourselves in
deeper consecration, knowing that—
"Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my life, my soul, my all."
Others have been led to seek for that light,
that faith which makes us children of God, and
have openly made known their desire to us.
We admire their courage, and we commend
their vision, their sense of values. They have
chosen "the better part"—they have made the
most important choice of life.
And we hope that this seeking shall continue.
May we all help and encourage one another, taking
care lest in any way we hinder, or cause anyone
to stumble.
V V V V
Prayer
"More things are wrought by prayer than this
world dreams of."
When we look about us we cannot help but see
the power of prayer. Bethel has gone through a
year of trial ; it seemed as though its doors would
have to be closed, but by prevailing prayer it has
passed through a successful year spiritually and
financially.
Prayer is not only an opportunity for us to
"ask abundantly", but it is also a blessed privilege
of communing with the Lord of Lords, and to en-ter
into the Holy of Holies to the very presence
of the Almighty. It is an audience with the King.
Who's Who
E. A. Finstrom
Mr. E. A. Finstrom came to Bethel
in the fall of 1920. He has taught in
both the Seminary and Academy and
is at the present time instructor in the
Junior College and the Seminary. He
is also librarian at the Seminary.
Mr. Finstrom was born in Cadillac,
Michigan, receiving his early training
in the rural schools of that state. He
is a graduate of the University of
Chicago Divinity School (Swedish De-partment)
; of the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary with the degree
Th. M.; and the University of Chicago
with a Ph. B. After his graduation
from the University of Chicago, Mr.
Finstrom served four years as pastor
at Kingsley, Michigan, until he was
called by the school board of Bethel
Institute.
Mr. Finstrom has impressed us all
with his ability to do a great deal of
work efficiently and promptly. He
has nearly every summer pursued ad-ditional
studies at the University of
Minnesota. Since the organization of
the Lake Park church, Mr. Finstrom
has served as its pastor. This church,
being in the same community as
Bethel Institute, has given many of
the students an opportunity to serve
their Lord and Master in the Sunday
School and other services of the
church.
A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER
Never resent the behaviour of an
ill-bred person.
Remember, no one can insult you—
he is simply showing his own bad
manners.
There is a courtesy of the heart—
from it springs the purest courtesy in
the outer behaviour.
Good manners are neither more nor
less than good behaviour, consisting
cf courtesy and kindness.
The small courtesies sweeten life,
the greater ennoble it.
Lincoln, when speaking of driving,
said, "If a man will not turn out for
me, I turn out for him." He certain-ly
had a lovely spirit, didn't he ?
Politeness is to Do and Say the
Kindest Thing in the Kindest Way.
Washington, the Gentleman
It is said that George Washington
once made a contemptible remark
about Colonel Payne, who at once
arose in anger and knocked Washing-ton
to the floor. In Colonial days
such an act was considered a challenge
to a duel. Washington met Colonel
Payne not long afterward, and going
to him, held out his hand, saying, "My
friend, I used language that was un-becoming
a gentleman, and you
promptly knocked me down. If you
have had satisfaction enough, let us be
friends." Is it strange that Washing-ton
has always been known as a
courtly gentleman ? Courtesy ever
brings its own reward, and Colonel
Payne and General Washington were
friends indeed.
The Book Corner
By H. C. Wingblade
A rather small book about a rather great man
came out recently in REUBEN ARCHER TORREY
—THE MAN AND HIS MESSAGE by Robert
Harkness, his musical associate (Bible School Press,
Chicago). The author says in his preface that the
book is not an attempt at a complete record but at
a means of inspiration, to all who read it, to more
holy living and more fruitftil service.
Mr. Harkness discovers his friend to the reader
as a man called of God to a great task,—as a man
of staunch faith, of deep prayer life, and of dominat-ing
convictions. He shows him forth as a rare Bible
teacher, and as a personal worker led at times seem-ingly
most miraculously of God.
As a preacher in the pulpit, he was a master of
every situation, because he was firmly planted on
the Word of truth. His messages and his meetings
were to be dominated by the Holy Spirit, with an
utter thrusting aside of man-made arguments or
man-made tricks. "Don't argue with a sinner", was
his warning; "if the Spirit of God is not working,
you have no chance."
His messages were characterized by simplicity
and power. As those keen, bright eyes shone, that
voice rang out unhesitatingly and unmistakably to
the utmost listener.
Pick the book up and glance through it. You
may decide to read it. The book is on the reserve
shelf.
Much Ado .. .
What's It For . . .?
Did you ever leave the house on a nice afternoon to
go for a joy ride some place out in the country ? What
did you find to greet as you tried to view the scenes on
the side of the road ? Nothing less than a lot of signs
blocking the view. The mean thing about them is that
there is no particular good in their being there,—they
could just as well be "gotten along without".
Or, to get a little closer home—did you ever start
walking down the hall and find your view blocked, passage
denied, and yourself disgusted ? Why ? Just because a
bunch of people are planted there not doing any particular
good. And they could just as well be "gotten along with-out".
We have a comfortable reception room furnished for
us in the Academy-College building. How would it be
to go in there and enjoy making a date the way a man
should instead of standing in the hall with one arm around
the big "knob" at the bottom of the stairs. Then too,
probably a person would feel more like drinking from the
fountain if there wouldn't be so many people sitting on it
while they talk about something worthless.
—Utilitarian.
Another Suggestion
The St. Paul Pioneer Press has a special page for
High School news every Saturday. I am sure they would
be glad to publish any news the Academy students' send
in. This is a good opportunity to advertise our school,
and it would perhaps eliminate that embarrassing situa-tion
one finds oneself in when having to explain that
Bethel Academy is across from the Fair Grounds and not
in Southern California. With six representatives on the
Clarion staff, you should be able to send some news in
once a week.
—College Student.
Think On These Things
By Esther Sabel
"Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it
not. --Gen. 28:16.
Homeless. alone, in a strange country, fleeing from
the wrath of a brother whom he had wronged, weary and
sick at heart, Jacob had been privileged a vision of God.
He did not deserve it; he had sinned—against his brother,
against his aged father,—against God. No, Jacob did not
deserve it. but God's mercy is greater than our deserts.
and His love follows us into the most unlikely places.
The story is told of a deep-sea diver who wanted
to have nothing to do with God. He avoided every men-tion
of religion, he never went near a church, the Bible
was a forbidden book as far as he was concerned. But one
day when he was diving he came upon a mollusk with a
bit of paper clamped in its shell. Curious, he managed to
pull the slip of paper out. It contained just one word—
"God"! The diver was so impressed with the conscious-ness
that it was impossible for him to get away from the
spirit of God, that he surrendered there on the floor of
the sea to the Love that had followed him even into this
most unexpected situation.
You may avoid mention of God, you may stay away
from every place where people meet to worship Him, you
may ignore His Word, but you cannot get away from
His presence. For his grace is greater than your sin, and
His mercy seeks to draw you to Him, that He may bless
you.

SPORT S
Seniors Reveal Life Secrets
In Impromptu Autobiographies
Class Adviser Demonstrates
Pugilistic Ability at Party
The dumbest and the brightest of
the dignified Academy Seniors, includ-ing
even the Valedictorian of the class,
were revealed by "spinning the milk
bottle" at the home of their class ad-visor,
Prof. H. C. Wingblade, on Fri-day
evening, April 7.
The group then tried its skill in re-membering,
not for a test, but for a
game. After this the guests tried
their hand at modeling, with either a
dog or Prof. Wingblade as the subject.
An exhibition by Prof. Wingblade of
his pugilistic ability was the main
feature of the evening, "bringing
down the house."
Another very interesting stunt was
the writing of life histories by each of
the Seniors—"A story in pictures".
After a delightful lunch the group
gathered around the piano and sang
"old songs." To the tune of "Home
Sweet Home" they disbanded, conclud-ing
that "there was nary a party like
it. "
INQUISITIVE REPORTER
Question:
What do you consider an ideal
student ?
Academy Student:
"An ideal student is one who tries
to do the best work he is' capable of,
and who is also active in extra-cur-ricular
activities."
College:
"I think an ideal student can best
be exemplified by an earnest Chris-tian
student."
B. and M. T.
"An ideal student is one who has
character, personality, and intelli-gence,
and who uses these traits to the
best advantage, not for himself, but
for others."
Seminary:
"An ideal student is a conscientious
fellow who can see two sides of a
question and still keep his own opin-ion.
He must study enough to keep a
good scholastic average. He must
also be ready to help out when need-ed."
Faculty:
"An ideal student is one who strives
daily to improve himself physically,
mentally, and spiritually—not selfish-ly,
but so that he might better help
others, fellow students and teachers,
to attain unto the high goal of living."

Gleams from the Geometry Classes
After receiving a blank response to
a question asked of Carl Holmberg,
the instructor said, "I wanted to give
you a chance; you had an intelligent
look on your face, so I was sure you
knew."
Carl Holmberg (assuming a dig-nified
manner) : "Oh, that's natural."
Miss Paleen: (berating the class
over their slowness and general in-aptitude
at grasping "simple" proofs):
"Last year's pupils were brilliant
when it came to this theorem. In
fact, they were far ahead of you in
assignments at this time of the year."
Sveinung H.: "Well, you see, last
year was Leap year with an extra clay
for them. We can't help but be be-hind."
Reciprocity
Some one tells us that a man got
up in a street car and gave a woman
a seat, and she fainted; when she re-covered
consciousness, she thanked
him, and he fainted.

Judging by the way the baseball
t eam has been breaking bats, we're
going to have a lot of home runs this
year.

Cliff Dickau must have a grudge
against the coach. One day last week
the coach fell over Dickau and hurt
his leg and later in the day Dickau
hit the coach in the back with a wild
peg. Dickau had better watch out or
the coach will suspect something.

Lloyd Wickstrom was barely able
to stand up one day at baseball prac-tice,
and when the coach asked the
reason why he was so tired he replied
that he had milked five cows the day
before.
-o-
During the first week of practice
which was held in the gym, Al Carlson
caught a ball on the end of his finger
which looked for a while as if it was
badly hurt, but it is not broken and
will come around in good order.
-o-
When Bethel opens the baseball sea-son
we hope there will he a better
turn-out to support the team than
there was at basketball.
Baseballers Start Season
Good Material Brought to Light
With the first call for baseball prac-tice
sixteen men turned out for try-outs.
The opening practice revealed
a fairly strong team although it will
take a lot of developing to put it into
first place in the league. The pitch-ing
staff showed up well with Holm-berg,
a southpaw, and Bauers. Al-though
they haven't thrown all their
stuff yet they appear likely to develop
into a pair of good hurlers. The in-field
prospects are good, with seven
men to choose from. Paulson and
Koch, two aspirants for infield posi-tion,
showed exceptional form in prac-tice
and are almost certain to obtain
a berth. The outfield this season will
most likely include Ed Cambronne
who has been playing his position well
in the last two weeks of practice. Al-though
he is somewhat weak in bat-ting.,
he will probably overcome this
before the first game.
Practice so far has been hampered
by the absence of some of the players
who were away on the Male Chorus
Tour. Because of this the coach has
been unable to tell what material he
has for the different positions.

DEAN DANIELSON REPORTS
SUCCESSFUL TRIP IN EAST
CHURCHES RAISE FULL QUOTA
"The churches in the East have re-sponded
very generously in meeting
their share of the quota for the main-tenance
of Bethel", Dean Danielson
said in effect upon his return from his
trip in the East. "The school must
raise $10,000 over and above the sum
which the church budgets provide, and
$2000 of this amount was raised in
the Eastern states during a period of
six weeks, and this in spite of the
bank holiday and other discourage-ments.
There is whole-hearted sup-port
in this part of the country in
favor of Bethel. It is expected that a
number of students will come from the
East next year to take up work in
the Junior College."
Mr. Danielson plans a one-month's
trip to the West Coast, when he ex-pects
to visit Spokane, Seattle, Bel-lingham,
Tacoma, Portland, and Ore-gon,
as well as other places near the
Pacific before his return about the
middle of May.
AMONG THE GRADS
April 15, 1933
Dear Alumnus:
What a surprise — and such a
pleasant one—to find your letter to
me on the back page of the Bethel
Clarion. I thoroughly enjoyed it and
appreciate very much your sending
me a copy of your interesting paper.
It was great to get all the news.
You are right. Margaret and Carol
do manage to keep me more than busy.
We all miss the cheery presence of
Mother Nichols. It is hard to truly
realize that she is gone; her death
came so suddenly. But we are happy
to have the lovely memories of her.
It was nice to see Edith's cheery
face in the Bethel Clarion. She is
a grand girl.
Here's some news. On March 6th
the Bethel Alumni of the Arrowhead
Country met at the home of Florence
Wallberg. The group organized the
Head of the Lakes Bethel Alumni As-sociation.
The membership includes
all graduates of Bethel Institute—any
department—who live in this area;
also wives or husbands of the Alumni.
It will be largely social but we expect
to accomplish some good for Bethel
by keeping in touch with each other
and we hope to have a live organiza-tion
that will spread the true influence
of Bethel wherever we may go.
Florence Wallberg was made Presi-dent;
Bill BaCklund, Vice President;
Eleanore Nichols, Secretary-Treas-urer.
Our next meeting will be in
July and we expect to make it a pic-nic.
The place will be definitely de-cided
on later but we plan to meet
somewhere on the Range. Watch
Standaret for further news later in
the summer.
Please send me more of the Bethel
Clarion, and send me a bill.
Sincerely,
Eleanore Nichols.
Well, Eleanore—That was a breezy
note from you and it came just in time
for the "Clarion." Here is some more
news for you.
Rev. and Mrs. Bengt Anderson and
children have just returned from As-sam,
India. They made a hurried
visit to Bethel last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Ivar Anderson are the
happy parents of a little girl born
April 14. Another arrival is Eugene
Donald Sullivan at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Sullivan. Mrs. Sullivan was
formerly Esther Brandt.
Emily Satterberg who recently re-turned
from her field in Africa ex-pects
to go to France the latter part
of April or May and from there she
returns to Sona Bata. She is one of
the few missionaries to be sent back
to her field this year.
An Ericson gains distinction! Mar-tin
Ericson graduated from the Med-ical
College of the University of Min-nesota
March 23. He is taking up his
interneship at the St. Mary Hospital,
Minneapolis.
Paul Stone has received a call to
the church at Preston, Washington.
He has been director of Religious Edu-cation
in the Swedish Baptist Church
at Oakland, California.
Among recent visitors to the March
Twin City Ministers' meeting were
Rev. and Mrs. Lloyd Dahlquist and
baby Merilyn and Rev. and Mrs. Carl
Seaquist.
You will be glad to hear that there
is a growing interest in Bethel as
evidenced by the fine letters received
from alumni pledging their support
by prayer and financial aid. Bethel
needs it right now more than ever be-fore.
Many of these donations are
real gifts of sacrifice from mission-aries
and others whose funds are
limited.
Reuben Nelson now living in Brock-ton,
Massachusetts, is completing
work for his Master of Arts degree
at Newton Center Theological Semi-nary.
Nels Ferre has made an unusual
record scholastically in post-graduate
work in connection with Boston Uni-versity
and Newton Center Theological
Seminary. He stood highest in both
schools.
Rev. and Mrs. Walfred G. Holmberg,
classes of '19 and '18 respectively, will
complete nine years of labor with the
church at Concordia, Kansas, in May.
During these years he has received
about 200 members into the church
and a beautiful modern church build-ing
has been erected at a cost of about
S50,000.
Linda Erickson, who is also in
Africa, tells of an interesting visit
with the Prince and Princess of Bel-gium.
As the Princess is Swedish,
Linda had the honor of talking with
her in her native tongue. Esther
Ehnbom, who is just starting her
second term of service in Africa has
had some very unique experiences as
nurse. Another country heard from
is Gauhati, Assam, where the Rev.
and Mrs. Reuben Holm are launching
out with dauntless courage into the
great work assigned to them.
It would be a treat to see you with
us again. Be sure to bring the young-sters
along.
When you arrive in the city be sure
to call Bethel Headquarters. The
sweet voice saying, "Bethel Institute"
across the wire is none other than
that of Jessie Skooglun. She is
the latest addition to the Bethel of-fice
force, and has become an invalu-able
member.

Campus Notes
Walter Watkin assisted Walter An-derson
in a week of special services
at Maynard, Minn., the week previous
to vacation. Last week he conducted
pre-Easter services in his own church
at Grove City.
Lester Thompson at Pillager and
Kenneth Meade at the Oakdale
Chapel, West St. Paul held Lenten
services in their churches last week.
It has been rumored that our regu-lar
campus day may be of a . different
nature this year and that perhaps the
student body and faculty will spend
the day outside on the campus. Don't
tell anybody but maybe there'll be a
picnic dinner too.
During the absence of the Associate
Editor, Gertrude Liljegren, who spent
last week at her home in Lake Ne-bagamon,
Wis., Henning Landstrom
assisted in the editing of this issue of
the Clarion.
The Journalism class together with
their instructor, Miss Sabel, recently
paid a visit to the Minneapolis
Journal. A guide took them through
the plant, pointing out the mechanism
of the press and linotype machines.
The visit proved to be of practical
value to all who took advantage of the
opportunity.
Grace Anderson, of the Academy
Sophomore Class, has been forced to
discontinue her studies because of ill
health. "We certainly miss her! She
was an active member of our class
and of the Student Council. We sin-cerely
hope she will be able to return
next fall", say her classmates.
We have heard that Olav Norsted,
was quite learned in the ups and
downs of life when he was quite a
little fellow. It is reported that an
affectionate spinster aunt visited his
home. She was fond of little Olav and
wanted him to kiss her. Olav refused
but his mother insisted, "Come now,
Olav, and kiss your aunt Martha."
Replied young Olav, "Aw, Ma, I ain't
done nothing."
Can you feature Robert Marvin say-ing,
"I've half a mind to get mar-ried
?" and Lloyd Wickstrom answer-ing,
"That's all you do need ?"
